Thanks to Ian for the early spot to get things going, a bit of a thankless task the early spot with not many dancers in early doors but it sets the tone of things to come.

10.15pm — 11.30pm — MAIN GUEST DJ — GIBBY.

THE END...............
One of the girls on the door (Claire) said of Gibby — “I love his music, you haven’t a clue what’s going to come next — love it, love it”. And that about sums up this man’s talent for reading the dance floor and for giving everything in soul music styles to you all in 90 minutes. Thanks Gibby for everything and we’ll pencil you in for another time, GRRREAAAT!!!!!
11.30pm — 12.40am Paul Ackley to finish off but he didn’t write them down — post them up Paul. Some I remembered though include:

Eddie Billups — Ask my heart

Poets Wrapped around your finger
Betty Wilson - I'm yours
Tommy Ridgley–my love keeps getting stronger
Flash McKinley–I’ll rescue you
Marteniques–If you want to call me
David Thomas–I’ll always need you
Buddy Smith — When you lose the one you love
And final record of the night– The Sweets - Something about my baby
I think that’s what Paul played to finish the night and what a great night it was too. Many thanks to you all who support us month in month out, we’d have closed ages ago without your support. Next month (7th June) we have the return of Scotland’s Colin Law and Colin is dragging along Kitch to dj for the first time at the Rafa club and not forgetting Kev Harker who’ll support these two. Sure to be a well supported night more details to follow.
Many thanks for the support and for viewing the playlists.
